"I have been staying at the Royam for work travel since 2012. It never disappoints. The staff are warm and friendly. The food just keeps getting better and better. The landscaping is immaculate and beautiful. If the Royam isn't available, I move my work travel dates. It is world-class."

"Great all-inclusive hotel! Family-friendly and amazing food. I would definitely visit again."

"Loved this property would stay here again "

"I’m still a little shocked at the room we were provided given the $300USD per night cost. It was in shambles. So out of date. Spiders and ants in the restroom. Crumbling walls. We decided to tough it out since we were there for one night and mainly to use the beach (which was very nice). But we have a 11 month old baby and when we got back from dinner there was a giant water bug or cockroach running around the bathroom. I couldn’t have my baby sleeping in a crib with so many bugs around. I was shocked they gave us this room, knowing we had an infant and putting us all the way at the end, where the sounds from the nightly hotel entertainment were audible. When I showed reception a video of the bug, they gave us a new room right away. This room was much nicer and perhaps more in line with the cost but I think the room is probably even more expensive than the $322 we paid. The dinner buffet was lovely. The beach is huge and clean. The pool is outdated, mocktail was watered down. I would not recommend this hotel for the price tag but not sure what the other option around Saly would be. "

"Beautiful place especially the pool. Great staff reception is very friendly and helpful "

"My experience both when it comes to booking and service have been really subpar with the rooms being even more underwhelming. Colleagues went in to find dirty towels and dirty linen. The room had bugs all over especially ants and mosquitoes. After a very difficult first night, we requested a cancellation of the booking through the booking agency and the hotel rejected. After the second night, it proved impossible to stay there and the team checked out. The hotel still refused to issue a partial refund. We ended up booking a new hotel a few minutes down the road. On top of it all, trying to communicate with the reception was just a problem. Genuinely if you are desperate for a single night, maybe. But just know there’s no where to get food close to the place. For long stays, just get a Hotel close by."

"Loved everything about this hotel. The facilities were great, the rooms comfortable and the staff amazing. This is a proper all inclusive hotel. "

"It was very relaxing place to be right above the beach with beach access. However the beach has a lot of debris from as that area is mostly used by fishermen. I stayed 8 nights with my 2 kids. Our room was spacious with a bounce bed and 2 twin beds. The beds we comfortable. The only complaint I would have is that when the weather is hot, it is hotter in the room because it is up stairs and there is no AC. Only half of our stay was hot enough to complain about. The staff was very friendly and kind. The owner was so gracious and will arrange anything you want from transportation to food delivery from outside. If you want a place to relax and do nothing but listen to the ocean waves while you sip a cold drink and your kids play in the pool, this is the place! I would definitely come back over and over again! "
